“My life is full of empty promises and broken dreams. Im hoping things will look up, and right when they do, theres always something to fuck it up, and were back at square one. Do you know what its like to be me? Go through something not everyone can see? Do you know what its like to walk in my shoes? Please stop judging me simply cause Im not you¦ Things are going crazy and Im not sure who to blame. Everything is changing and I dont feel the same. Im slipping through cracks of floors I thought were strong. Im trying to find a place where I feel like I belong. I think Id do better on my own, no friends, no fights, just me¦..alone Im tired of trying. Im tired of crying. I know Ive been smiling, but inside Im dying¦ Maybe if I wasnt so good at pretending to be happy, I might learn to actually be happy I just want a day to go by¦. When Im not pretending to be happy”
